Where is it? I have it already installed for Linux as a final beta tester and it works very nice. The 3.11p Linux version seems to have been ready for a long time but for some reason ACT do not want to publish it before they have completed the NT version. I had to promise not to pass on my beta version, so don't ask me for it, but may be ACT can be convinced to do a short public beta test for the 3.11p Linux version until they have fixed their NT problems. It seems their main concern is a proliferation of too many different 3.11p versions that could result of a public beta test. I never understood this concern, because it is trivial to just call them gnat-3.11p-beta-990114.tar.gz or something like that for the beta test version of the day. Should be no problem if they use a decent revision control concept. Beta testers by definition do not mind anyway to install a new revision every morning. Markus -- Markus G.
